Are earpods and airpods on Aliexpress authentic

The earpods and airpods on the following AliExpress links claim to be authentic while it represents a similar pricing range to that of the apple website. Many reviews have confirmed that they are of the original quality. I would like to know if they are original apple products as there’s no certified dealer in my country (Sri Lanka). Please be kind enough to assist me on the following. Thank you.

There is no way to know without buying then getting the subject item examined by Apple. You can’t even judge based on what anyone else got, because it is common for internet scams to begin with shipping genuine so they get 5* reviews, then drop to counterfeit once their fake reputation has been established.


The only way to be sure you get genuine Apple is to buy from Apple or an official Authorized Reseller. I appreciate that may be difficult if these do not exist in your home country.
